Our Vision

At Pennington Church of England School, we want our children to have an equal opportunity to achieve success and reach their full potential, regardless of gender, race, culture or background; and to become independent learners within a Christian environment, which is safe, caring and happy.

The whole school is committed to an exciting and relevant curriculum that has high expectations and is appropriate for individual needs and gives everyone the opportunity to succeed.

By working closely with children, staff, parents and the community, we will help our pupils to develop into well-motivated, resilient, responsible and fulfilled young people.

Promoting a love of learning and an enjoyment of achievement; ensuring the highest academic, social and spiritual progress and achievement for each individual child. As well as, recognising that children develop at different rates, possess a variety of skills and abilities, have different needs and display a range of personalities and interests.

Achieve economic well being through:

Enabling all children to become life long, enquiring, motivated and happy learners; with a desire and confidence to learn, achieve and make decisions, and yet not to be afraid to make mistakes.

This philosophy and aims support an acceptance and engagement with the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, so that our pupils develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain.
